John Sebastian - How Have You Been Lyrics
How have you been my darling children,While I have been away in the west?Though you are strangers,I feel that I know you.By the way that you treat me and offer to feed me and egarly ask if I'll stay for a rest.Now sit yourselves down in a pile here before me.I wish I had presents for each of your smiles.I have been traveling,without much to carry.Just a broken guitar case with tape on the sides,a bag and a few signs to help me get rides.Here are some beads from a throat of a princess,Who reigned in the years 'round 200 BC.Divid them and wear them,and make sure you share them.Because I want you to have them in hopes that'll be,as lovely as the lady who gave them to me.Here is a strange European guitar string,I found on the floor of a Club in Marselles.It's fat for the third string and too skinny for the fourth string.But I keep in hopes I may use it someday,It's funny how people just keep things that way.Here is a turtle from a Long Island Expressway.Says that his home has been covered with tar.So I gave him a ride on the back of my suitcase.And he wants to stay here in your yard,at long his life won't be quite so hard.How have you been my darling children?
